Kaidence can't stop wiggling. She is rolling from side to side in her crib and is trying to pull herself up from a laying position. She no longer stays strait up and down in bed but always seems to be sideways. She loves being held and socializing with all of the nurses and staff. Her legs never stop kicking and she loves chewing on her hair comb. We love having her so awake, alert and happy. She had a dressing change today and the nurses and doctors seemed very excited about the progress that has been made with the wounds. They say they look very good and have made much improvement. We are so happy about that. We are literally just waiting and hoping for the best for Kaidence's future.

Mike and Shauntelle, I am so glad that Kaidence is doing better. I'm sure that she has tons more energy and just wants to moving. What a great blessing you have been to all of us. We continue to pray to our Heavenly Father. For he knows whats best and when the situation is perfect it will all happen. I hope that you can enjoy the Christmas Season and reflect of the greatest gift of all. Love to you all, Aunt Deb and Uncle Larry

About Me

I spent 127 Days at Primary Childrens Hospital in the PICU. I was born healthy but became ill after catching a virus that caused my Cardiomyopathy (an enlarged heart). My heart was not pumping and I was dying. We were granted special government permission upon emergency use to implant the "Berlin Heart" an LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) for babies. This would give me more time to wait for a heart. I was the first patient in the state of Utah to receive this device. I received the experimental device in November 2007. It saved my life and I received a heart transplant December 2007, two days before Christmas. My new heart has given me a new chance at life and I am forever grateful to the fammily that gave me my "Angel Heart". Today I am 5 years old and awaiting a second heart transplant due to severe Coronary Artery Disease. My family and doctos were shocked to learn that I needed a new heart once again.
Our little Kaidence is a tough fighter. Our little Fairy of Faith.
This blog documents her Journey of FAITH!
